There are countless forex platforms, so how should one determine which aspects to judge them on?

Platform Security:

The Huitong Finance Networkmost authoritative regulatory bodies include: FCA, ASIC, SEC, VFSC, FSA, etc. For regulatory inquiries, you can visit the official regulatory websites, as shown in the image below:

Secondly, check media ratings, but keep in mind that ratings do not mean everything, as it is possible for ratings to be influenced by payments;

Security also manifests in the safety of customer information. If a platform's server is frequently attacked, accessing the website during critical times can be fatal for investors. Additionally, investor registration information might be leaked, so the platform's ability to prevent attacks is crucial.

Trading Environment: Spread Stability: Nowadays, broker spreads are generally very low, but during times of high trading volumes, the spread can fluctuate significantly, inadvertently increasing trading costs. Brokers with good liquidity can maintain stability during significant market conditions. Slippage/Freezing: Brokers with poor liquidity can experience slippage during significant market conditions. Some beginners may not notice slippage, which significantly increases trading costs. Also, some brokers may advertise very low spreads but have significant slippage during trade closures. Trade Execution Speed: The time from initiating a trade request to receiving a server response should be as short as possible, ideally under 50ms, to avoid missing entry and exit opportunities due to performance issues.

During trading, it is inevitable that platform issues may cause losses. Whether a broker compensates customers reflects their sincerity towards clients;

Platform Development Prospects:

Many people overlook this point. If a platform is not profitable, safety cannot be ensured. Focusing only on how low the spread can go without recognizing the hidden risks behind absurdly low spreads is a lesson learned the hard way with examples of crashes due to gaming. A quality platform must be built on a foundation of healthy development. Understanding the broker's strategic planning and the vision of decision-makers determines the company's potential. Diversified business lines help increase the platform's ability to withstand risks. If a platform only deals in forex, then the safety of funds cannot be guaranteed in case of risks;

Customer Service:

Many leading platforms have exited the Chinese market due to domestic policies. As a result, customers have to rely on official website customer service to handle urgent issues, but a single customer service representative might have to deal with multiple investors at the same time, reducing efficiency. It's also important to avoid account managers who only talk but do not solve problems. As a service industry, good professional quality and service attitude are the basic qualities;

Referring to the above five points can help filter out the majority of unhealthy platforms nowadays. Investors should thoroughly understand the entire industry and the platform's background before making a choice. We also wish all forex investors success in the market and abundant wealth!
